    Tottori Pref. Tottorishi Hakuto 603
    This ancient shrine is dedicated to the Japanese mythology “Inaba White Rabbit,” which is mentioned in the Kojiki, Japan’s Records of Ancient Matters. It is near Hakuto Beach in Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture. It is not clear when it was founded, but the current main building was reconstructed in 1896. Along the approach leading inside the shrine is Mitarashi Pond. Legends say that the deity Oku Ninushi instructed a rabbit whose fur had been torn by ferocious sharks to wash itself in the pond. Due to this legend, it is said that this shrine can heal skin ailments and burns, as well as provide good luck for marriages, among other benefits.

    A 40-50 min bus ride from Tottori, Hakuto Shrine is definitely worth visiting. The Shrine itself is cute and charming, but there is more. If you come on a clear day, the sea close to Shrine entrance...

    お金のご利益があるとか、昔の札に掲載されている３６０余歳とか云う物語以前の段階の空想の神さん？武内宿禰とか云う存在の者？神かな？が色々と何かしたとか・・・全ては空想の作り話の次元のことです。と、云うことでとてもご利益などがあるとは信じ難いので・・・余り熱心には拝みませんでした。だからいつも金欠病でピィピィ言っているのかな？本殿への石段は実際は大したことないんだが、下から見ると一直線で、途中の数か所...

    Tottori Tottori-shi Mochigasecho Mochigase 96

    用瀬駅から徒歩5分ほど。 950年頃、山城国紀伊郡の八坂神社から須佐之男命の分霊を勧請したのが始まり。藩政時代は藩主のための祈願所であった。 現在の社殿は、1872年に鳥取藩の尚徳館から移築したもの。当初は妙見大明神という名前であったが、明治元年に近隣6社を合祀した際に「東井神社」に改称されている。 境内はきれいに清掃されているが、社殿は傷みが見受けられる。
